 Nice save in that corner! I would've eaten crap with my clips in that. Razz Haha.

 Haha ... I took the wrong line coming off the boulder into that corner. I went too high and I basically rode off the lip of the berm. Luckily I was able to hang on with one hand and pull the bike back. Razz


I think nerves also played into too. I had been struggling with this one section all day Saturday and even Sunday. I think it got into my head too much. On my second run i didn't think about it too much and I sailed through it ... but only to fail in the rock garden Frown


Oh well ... I think you would have liked the course. Fast and tight..

 Yeah, it looked sweet! Nerves always get to me on my race run. I try to calm down but most of the time it doesn't work til i'm at the wall. Haha.

 Normally I'm very calm in the gate and focused on the run. It's usually standing in line about to enter the gate is when I get the most nervous. Razz


Other things were also playing in my head. This was the first real riding I did on the DirtBag since the injury and so I was sort of doubting myself.

I was still happy to be able to get one race in for this year. Beer And not come in dead last! lol

Yeah, i understand. I give you huge props for doing so well and riding like you did coming back from an injury! tup

You did better than me! I haven't made it to one since February! That's always good when you don't come in last. Razz Hahaha. I hope i can make it to the next one!

 Thanks... I was a little nervous on this run. Normally I'm pretty calm when sitting in the gate. But as soon as I left the gate I was OK. tup
